As a figurative sculptor, the practice of sculpting from imagination is extremely important and educational. In this 4-day online class, Alicia will demonstrate how to create a figure from imagination, and students may work along with the project at home. We'll work at an 18-inch scale on a wire armature. Alicia will begin each 3 hour zoom session with a brief lecture, highlighting some important concepts for the day. She will then show a demo video and narrate the video in real time. In the final hour, students may receive feedback on their project and participate in discussions relevant to the class.
Students will have to use "Zoom" to participate in the class. Homework and questions may be posted on "Padlet" (a private forum, free to use, and visible only to participants that will be set up for the class in advance). Each week the class will be recorded and students may access the videos for up to 2 months after the class finishes.
The practice will enhance each student's figure modeling technique, shed light on how to utilize the proportional canon, and serve as an exercise in sculptural composition. All levels are welcome, some experience in figure modeling or drawing from life is recommended."
